it's the little things...

i am sooo excited! and why?? i just went to home depot and bought things for the house! little things, but i have to tell you what i'm most excited about.. the new swiffer carpet flick!! i've used it already and love it! now, i'm telling jaron, "please make a mess so mommy can use her new gadget!" sad huh?? i mean, really now, it just doesn't seem right to get so excited over cleaning. did i mention i also bought a clorox bleach pen??

this is how my morning went -an ode to india-

woke up late.. around 8:30.. (i can't believe jaron slept so long) now, i don't feel well, i may have slept too long. then, off to get jaron his milk. but, he wants juice. i think he should have milk first.. right? he drinks his milk, then asks for juice, i give him juice, and he throws his cup down, saying no! (yes juice!! NO juice!! and on and on) so, i set the cup with juice on the counter. if he wants it, he'll get it, but i'm not going to chase him around with his juice. so, he finally grabs his juice and since it's so high up he has trouble and the cup lands on his head. i know it's plastic, but it's full of juice, so it's heavy. he starts crying. kissed it all better. now, he wants to wear his teddy bear slippers, but he's wearing jammies that already have feet, so he doesn't like this one bit. ugh. and we just woke up.. and now i'm thinking i want another baby?? am i crazy?? probably!

crazy

it's actually snowing today!! a little snow, a little sleet!i love it!! but, the day before, i was wearing shorts and a tank top, and breaking a sweat. crazy texas weather. i think it went from the upper 80's to a high today of only 30!

nacho conspiracy

i've been craving bean and cheese nachos with jalapenos for a few days now.. i went to one place yesterday and ordered that. i got nachos with onions, not jalapenos! that's just gross.
so, today, i tried again.. different place same order.. all i got today was chips with cheese. no jalapenos, no beans.. ugh!!! perhaps, someone is trying to tell me that i don't need them! well, i don't care, i'm going to try again tomorrow!! i must have them!! :)

for scott

i went to a funeral this morning. my friend from high school, scott vaughan, who was only 33 died last tuesday. he had suffered long from mental illness, and finally had enough and took his own life. he left behind a wife and stepson, and many friends and family. we were in the same "new-wave" crowd in high school. he was so cute and wore his hair in a mohawk when i first met him. we even hung out together while he was in college here. then i moved to l.a. and lost track... i didn't even know he was in the army, went to school in maryland and got a master's in sociology, got married, none of it. now i know, but a sad way to find out. they did a slide show of him from birth and on... it's strange, here is this baby, young boy, that i didn't know then, and then pictures came up from his high school days, and i was thinking, i remember that, how he used to dress, his hair, i knew him then, and then the pictures go on to his life in maryland .. & i didn't know him again. strange. even though i only knew him for a brief time (6 years) i'm glad i did. he was such a nice, kind, compassionate person. he will be missed.

best show ever!!

arrested development last night was the best! i love, love this show and it looks like it's going to be cancelled!! but, hopefully another network will pick it up! it's so smart, i guess that's why it's not doing to well (american idol?? please).. justine bateman was awesome!! if you haven't seen this show, do yourself a favor and go buy the first 2 seasons on dvd. you will love it!!!

all play and no work...

i was thinking, i really want to work tonight, but i have no sitter. and bryan works until 10.
ugh!! it's just nice to get away!
oh yeah, i work very part-time as a nurse's aid. my friend dawn got me the job (she's a nurse) and works there as well. colton and cameron are the two boys (twins) we take care of. they are about to be 10! when they were born, the hospital didn't have enough equipment to resuscitate them and because of their error, those sweet boys are now completely disabled. cameron is able to talk (very little) and colton, not at all. it makes me so happy to be doing something that is helpful. just to put a smile on colton's face makes my day!
i also work 2 days a week at my mom's quilt store. (funny, i never thought i'd like quilting) and while i work there, my mother-in-law keeps jaron for me. i really miss working full time. i mean i love being with jaron, but i miss grown-ups!! : ) when do kids start pre-school?? : )

i'm a scaredy cat!

i just saw the scariest guy walking down our street this morning. he looked kind of like this
but not hot!! just scary.. he was walking really slow. i came in and then i wasn't sure if i locked the door.. so it was panic. anyway, it's a free country. and maybe he was really nice, just lost.

what's that?

i got this idea from another blog..
my son, jaron is a little hard to understand.. (i know he's not quite 2 yet)
but it's too cute!!

jaron to english dictionary:
no ne-motorcycle
doe doe-grover
bill-barney (not even close) : )
noman-snowman
yum yum-cookie monster
jugdish-???
he gets a lot right, but sometimes, i just don't have a clue what he trying to say! : )

scary

my son, who will be 2 in a month, was running around my mom's living room, with his daddy right behind him and fell into a table, he didn't hit it too hard, not even enough to make a mark, but i ran in to check and his daddy was holding him and he was starting to cry and all of the sudden his head went back and i grabbed him and he was completely limp in my arms, SO SCARY!!! i screamed for my mom and she blew in his face, and he was back.. i spoke with the doctor and he said that it's quite normal for toddlers to pass out when they get scared or hurt, it's called a breath-holding spell.. well, i have never heard of this.. it was the scariest thing ever.. i swear, i almost had a heart-attack!!
